My coding exploits

Three week’s worth and my laptop was not happy with the amount of tabs I had open. There were so many commits that I probably missed some ones I could highlight, especially as they got closer to today. The main things that have happened in the last three weeks are 3.15 was released, there’s a new version of hacklang.org and the main blog finally got another post!Continue reading →

Well, it’s been 2 months. My 2FA session timed out and it took a really long time to have my phone with me when I went do this, since I usually do it Saturday morning and don’t carry my phone with me on weekends. But I’m back now! Hooray!

In the last 2 months, there’s been a rather large amount of work. A couple of quick highlights are:

HHVM 3.13 was released.

The continued work on the Hack array types (dict and vec so far, I’m guessing keyset will be along shortly).

Welcome to March! There were substantially more commits this week than last.

Some of the more important commits saw the removal of the LLVM backend; the start of implementing the proposed improvements to arrays for Hack; and type checker support for the pipe operator.

This week saw the release of 3.12.1. While mainly a security release, there were also a couple of bug fixes included. Along with this, 3.6 is no longer supported. This mainly effects Ubuntu 12.04, as 3.6 is the last version that supports 12.04.Continue reading →

Most of the commits this week were spent cleaning up and refactoring the code base. Very important to do, but makes for a rather short highlights reel.

Though, 3.12.0 was tagged! There’ll probably be an official release announcement on the HHVM blog soon. You can get a feel for what’ll be included in that release by my summaries for the period between 3.11 being cut and 3.12 being cut. Those posts are:

There’ll be a couple of changes that were cherry-picked in that were committed after 3.12 was cut as well as some overlap in periods, since the cut dates and when I end the weeks don’t line up exactly. Were pretty close though.
